China Entertainment 1997

While Cao Xuan was filming "Bao Qingtian" in Buddha City, "The True Colors of a Detective" also started to air.

In the original time and space, the TV stations where this drama first aired were the two sub-channels of Hui Province Channel and Guangdong Province Channel. Later, after it became popular, it began to be launched on Star TV.

This situation is very common nowadays. Most new non-exclusive dramas premiere on local sub-channels, and they will only get stars if they perform well.

New dramas that can be directly premiered on Star TV are either key projects produced by the company, or projects that are quite promising.

Although "A Better Detective" originally had a big star named Wang Zhiwen, other than him, the rest of the cast were not very well-known and could not be considered a well-known cast member.

In addition, the subject matter is not very popular, so I can only try the sub-channel first.

But now that Cao Xuan has joined the cast, the popular king + a big shot from the Mainland, "The True Colors of a Detective" is set to hit the ground running.

Finally, Huizhou TV station came forward and won the exclusive rights to premiere "The True Colors of a Detective".

The film studio made back its money in one fell swoop and made a profit. The remaining second and third rebroadcast rights and DVD rights are all profits.

In addition, the film crew also attracted some sponsorships and pre-roll advertisements. Anyway, this drama is more profitable than the film crew imagined.

Cao Xuan's role in this is obvious to all, and the producers of "A Better Detective" even considered whether to give him a red envelope.

On the other hand, Huizhou TV Station, which invested a lot of money to obtain the exclusive broadcast rights, attaches great importance to "The True Colors of a Detective", and all parties have promoted the drama to build momentum.

I not only hope that the ratings data will look good, but I also want to earn more advertising fees.

Huizhou TV even cut Cao Xuan, who was originally from the fourth series, into a male protagonist who is on par with Wang Zhiwen in the trailer of "The True Colors of a Detective" in order to attract viewers.

This trick is also an old routine in the film and television industry, and until twenty years later, film studios were still doing it this way.

However, twenty years later, it will be criticized by netizens, causing the reputation to plummet and affecting the performance.

But now there are definitely viewers who criticize it, but due to the lack of exposure, it has a very low impact on the TV station, and it makes a lot of money in silence.

Hui Province Channel launched satellite TV in 1997, which is neither too early nor too late for major domestic provincial channels.

Many people's impression of this channel is that it often broadcasts Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas and unique Thai dramas.

By the way, there is also the Chinese Drama Ceremony, which awarded nearly thirty actor awards in one breath, which can be called a model of dividing the pork...

In fact, Huizhou TV did start with Hong Kong dramas. When it was founded, it successively introduced some Hong Kong dramas and gained a certain popularity. Later, it began to introduce Taiwanese idol dramas to further consolidate its position.

Later, Taiwanese dramas declined, and some Korean dramas were broadcast in Huizhou Province, but in the end they found another way and chose Thai dramas.

The stinky and long plots, exaggerated and devilish style of Thai dramas have left many people deeply impressed by Huizhou TV.

Of course, in addition to TV series, Hui Province's variety shows are actually pretty good, especially the ace variety show "Super Winner", which could rival "Happy Camp" at its peak.

It is worth mentioning that Little Black Fatty also served as the host of this show for a period of time. This show gave him a lot of help when he became famous.

And his famous and sad video of being an "animal" in a glass cabinet for 24 hours was also created by Huizhou TV Station.

Nowadays, "Super Winner" has been broadcast at the beginning of the year. Coupled with the foundation accumulated in previous Hong Kong dramas, Hui Province TV Station still has a strong presence in major local provincial stations in the country.

A good platform + a good drama will naturally lead to good results.

After the show aired, it ranked among the top five in its time slot in just two days. After that, it became stable for a long time. Occasionally, it would break out and even rank among the top three.

Halfway through the broadcast, the ratings of "The True Colors of a Detective" in Hui Province were close to 40%.

The average ratings of the entire drama have remained around 6%, which is pretty good for a criminal investigation drama.

It cannot be compared with annual hits such as "Yongzheng Dynasty", "My Princess 2" and "Never Rest in Peace", but among the new dramas broadcast by Huizhou TV this year, it is firmly in the top three, and can even compete with Huizhou TV This year's annual drama king.

The popularity of the TV series has also made "The Detective" appear on the pages of major media.

Wang Zhiwen once again produced a masterpiece, and his superb performance was recognized by the audience and the industry. Li Youbin and Wang Kuirong also became famous.

But the most topical one is Cao Xuan.

As one of the top players in the Mainland today, Cao Xuan has received far more attention than many people imagine.

Especially since he has now crossed over from a singer to an actor, many people are eager to "point out" Cao Tianwang.

There is no way, Cao Xuan's achievements in pop music are too high now, he has defeated the kings and queens of Hong Kong and Taiwan one after another, and he is also a famous creative talent. Not everyone is qualified to comment.

As long as what you say is meaningful, that's all. If you don't hit the right spot, you may become a clown trying to please others.

But it's different in film and television. Cao Xuan, who has only had two dramas broadcast, is not even out of the category of newcomers.

I can’t talk about the new king, and I can’t evaluate you as a newbie in TV dramas...

As a result, many people were eager to watch "The Detective", but they were still shocked when they saw Luo Yang, played by Cao Xuan, appear.

In the past, Cao Xuan's image was bright and handsome, and he was even more radiant on the stage. He was the dream lover of countless female fans.

But Luo Yang, who just appeared in the play, has fluffy and messy hair, a dark complexion, and a stubble that makes him look older. He wears old-fashioned and ill-fitting clothes, has a slumped waist and lowered head, and has a dull and dull temperament.

What the hell is this Cao Xuan?

Many people thought they had admitted their mistake at first, and then secretly smacked their lips, this crew is too cruel, it is a waste of natural resources for such a good and handsome guy to be tortured like this.

However, when they saw the villain gangster slap Cao Xuan on the face, the fans went crazy. The reporter was even more excited, and his thoughts suddenly surged.

"Shock! The popular king was slapped, here’s why”

"Cao Xuan's first scene surprised countless people"

"Playing ugly and getting beaten, Cao Xuan is willing to sacrifice for the show"

"Exclusive Group Actor Interview: After I beat Cao Xuan, he took the initiative to comfort me and cheer me up"

"..."

This plot sparked frenzied coverage by the media and attracted countless curious viewers to turn on their TVs and watch "The True Colors of a Detective."

As the ratings of the TV series began to rise, it also started the mode of watching Cao Xuan being beaten by everyone.

He was beaten by gangsters, beaten by Mr. Song, beaten for his bravery, beaten again by Mr. Song, treated to guests and beaten again, and there were all kinds of humiliations and scoldings during the process...

If everyone was initially attracted by the excitement of "Cao Xuan being beaten", as the plot developed, they were slowly drawn into the drama by Cao Xuan's performance, and began to sympathize with the character Luo Yang.

An honest boy, doing business properly, but ended up being bullied by evil forces in various ways.

The audience, who are also ordinary people, watched it, not to say they felt the same, but at least they felt sympathy.

Therefore, when they saw Luo Yang resisting, many viewers applauded loudly, and he gained good popularity as a villain.

However, this is just the beginning of Luo Yang's role...

I found a big guy from China Entertainment to PY "The Age of Movies" and I will follow it myself. If you are interested, you can check it out.
